Looking for suppliers and opinions. Never ran them, but don't have time to swap in a K&L ft end. 69 bug w 2x3s in the rear. NOT a show car!

Thanks

VW is the best supplier. Thing spindles are the good stuff. After that, Tweeds.

Take a look here, almost half way down: http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=491123

Have you seen the bugzyla beam that mounts to a ball joint front end frame head and uses linkpin front end parts ? With your wider rear suspension you might want to run a wider front beam to match. The bugzyla beam comes in different widths. I'm running a complete Thing front end with its stock factory lift spindles, but I have stock width rear trailing arms. I suppose you could run a widened ball joint front beam with lift spindles too. A lot of choices !

Thanks guys. Brian, that is an awesome link. I have built Buggies and Bajas for years, but there are always cool ways other than what you always done!
